The Commissars in the People’s Republik of New Jersey claimed yet another victim by forcing a woman to remain defenseless while awaiting her government permission slip to buy a gun. Someone call Shannon and ask her to comment.
Professor Paul and Jarrad bring you up to speed on all things Student of the Gun. We have a new book, a new DVD, and the Grad Program is being upgraded behind the scenes. Our SWAT Fuel Warrior of the Week posed a question about the gun culture and when are we going to stand together? A poignant question indeed.

From www.thefederalistpapers.org:
“In New Jersey, you have to get permission from your local police chief to be allowed to simply purchase a firearm.
There is no open or concealed carry in the state unless you work as a security guard, prosecutor or police officer.
Mere mortals in New Jersey aren’t allowed to protect themselves unless they are inside their homes.
The only people who can carry a firearm are criminals and those named above and security guards are only allowed to do it while at work.
The New Jersey legislature has blood on its hands. Because of their draconian gun laws, a woman is dead.
From the Courier-Post:
When Carol Bowne felt the threat of domestic violence, the petite hairdresser took steps to protect herself.
The Berlin Township woman got a restraining order against a former boyfriend, installed security cameras and an alarm system to her home and began the months-long process of obtaining a handgun, friends said.
But it wasn’t enough.
Bowne, 39, was stabbed to death in the driveway of her Patton Avenue home on Wednesday night.
Carol Browne did everything right. She got the useless piece of paper the law allows her to get aka restraining order; she got security systems and on April 21 asked permission to be allowed to purchase a firearm to protect herself.“
